If we get enough people, there are several goals: *) To help people to be less afraid of the examples and to understand how to use them/learn from them, including sharing tools to analyze/review the examples *) Maybe to play with support tools (e.g. review tools) to find the best way for people to learn *) For me (and other committers who joined in) to see where people have most problems *) Discover the things in examples that may have stopped working and we did not notice due to slow evolution or other factors *) See what's missing in the examples *) For myself, I am presenting at Solr Revolution on examples. So, that's a way to both improve my presentation and to deepen my understanding of what's possible/missing *) Perhaps, just perhaps, thinking about new set of examples that better reflect more recent features of Solr
But this all happens only if enough people show interest. Running an "any questions allowed" is a lot of effort for the organizer(s), so...... So far, for whatever reason, there has not been enough of that interest.
